The two German top leagues were represented at the 2021 European Championship with a total of 93 players (goalkeepers Tomas Koubek for the Czech Republic and Gregor Kobel for Switzerland were nominated) and thus more than ever before. At the EM 2016, 65 professionals from the national leagues were there. However, this time the national coaches were allowed to nominate 26 instead of 23 players because of the additional burdens caused by the corona pandemic. Nevertheless, the German leagues can record an increase from 11.7 to 14.6 percent of EM players. Only England has more EM participants with 146 players. Before the round of 16, which begins this Saturday (6 p.m.) with the game Wales against Denmark, there are still 79 players from the two top German divisions.

Remarkable: After the preliminary round, only 14 professionals are eliminated with their national teams. The most prominent “failure” is world footballer Robert Lewandowski, who with Poland in group E last has been. The Hungarian parliamentary group with Peter Gulacsi and Willi Orban from RB Leipzig, Adam Szalai from Mainz 05 and Roland Sallai from SC Freiburg also had to go to the 2-2 draw against Germany start the journey home in Munich. Two clubs that had sent EM drivers at the beginning no longer appear in the list before the knock-out round: Ondrej Duda (Slovakia), the only EM driver from 1. FC Köln, was eliminated. Dawid Kownacki from Poland and Kenan Karaman from Turkey are no longer there from Rhine rival Fortuna Düsseldorf.
